Reading scripts rxdata with external script

[gerrtunk]

I was wondering if exist a created ruby script that can read scripts.rxdata and convert into .rb files.

Just using marshall load or file open with it, wont work, no? They protected it or not?

Scripts.rxdata is just marshalled data, yes.
More precisely it's a marshalled array where each element corresponds to a section in the script editor.
A section is an array of the [number, title, compressed_code] form:

• Number - I don't know what the purpose of this is.
• Title - The title of the section as a string
• Compressed_code - The compressed contents. Use Zlib::Inflate.inflate to decompress

I think I made a script which does what you want somewhere in the RMXP Scripter's Edition forum.

My guess (which is more than a guess :P) is that "number" is some sort of ID.

When working on the script editor of my FF6 SDK, I found that if you copy [number, title, compressed_code] somewhere else in your array and change only "compressed_code", your code will be changed in every scripts with the same "number". I've discovered this when implementing copy/paste functions to the editor.

This "number" is a big one and I don't know why. Changing it makes your entry uniq.
To fix this in my editor, I simply randomize a new number for my newly copied script, but I'm not sure if it's the right way to do it...

Im looking to edit ruby rgss scripts with better tools. The idea will be to create two ruby scripts: one that extract and copy rxdata and other that saves all .rb in a folder to rxdata.

My problem now is that error: incompatible marshal file format
version 4.8 req , 83:39 given

You can refer to my scripts and etheon's scripts on the matter.
